BSc Animal Science, Licensed Veterinary Technician, Certified Companion Animal Therapist

I have always been passionate about caring for animals, and it is that passion that has guided my career.

While completing my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science at New Mexico State University (2012), I worked at a local veterinary clinic that provided integrative care to their patients, combining Western and Chinese Veterinary medicine; and that experience sparked my interest in alternative therapies.

To further my education, I completed my Associates in Veterinary Technology at Colorado Mountain College, in 2016. Afterwards I relocated to the Dallas, TX area (not going to lie, seeking some warmth!), and obtained my state licensure, while working at a fast-paced general practice in Sachse, where I assisted four amazing veterinarians for eight years.

Later, I worked alongside a renowned pain management veterinarian in Carrollton, assisting with a wide range of orthopedic and neurologic cases while gaining a strong understanding of the critical factors involved in the rehabilitation process.

My passion for alternative therapies from my early years in veterinary medicine led me to obtain my Certification as a Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist through North Carolina State University and Northeast Seminars in 2024. Furthermore I completed some coursework of Traditional Chinese Medicine through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. In addition, I regularly attend lectures and seminars to stay up to date with the latest advances in the rehabilitation field.

On my spare time you can find me working out at the gym or reading a good book at home. I also enjoy baking, although I find it very challenging! However, what I love the most is spending time with my husband and our spicy chiweenie, Cheyenne.
